Minsk now appears keen to deescalate border crisis, which has claimed lives of 13 people
Belarus said the hastily constructed migrant camps on its border with Poland had been cleared of people on Thursday in a sign that Minsk is keen to deescalate the deadly crisis that its leader, Alexander Lukashenko, helped to create.
On Thursday, that crisis claimed its 13th victim after an NGO reported that a one-year-old child had died after his family attempted the perilous journey through Belarus into the EU.
